Well... they've been posted here and some of them were almost included once.

Testing and, for one of the patches, debugging. I think that the repeat,
device name truncation avoidance, EVIOCGPHYS and kzalloc patches can go
straight in, modulo possible bit-rot; I'm fairly sure that the ir-common
usage patch can go in (for one thing, it provides the correct default keymap
for the R808 remote control which was supplied with some Nova-Ts). However,
the shutdown patch needs some debugging.

It seems to be very variable. :-|
